LugNut for 2006 FleetWood Bounder on WH Chasis

Would anyone know what size lugnut fits a 2006 Fleetwood Bounder Wh Chasis?, Tire size 22.5?

Had new tires put on and one is missing, calling to call the tire shop but just in case I need to buy one.

Thanks!

  • Check with a local NAPA store, they should stock it or can order it in very fast.

    I have tighten THOUSANDS of lug nuts on semi trailers, supervised 3 shops in two different states. None of the shops had/used a torque wrench!
    The old joke is-
    "You want them as tight as they will go and then three more turns!".

    For more info on torqueing lug nuts, especially with "Hub piloted lug nuts", here is a good read about wheels coming off if not done correct.

    You know more than the factory engineers?? There is a reason the torque is 450-500#.

  • I have trouble understanding why anyone would mess around with a long bar when torque multipliers are available. Not sure but harbor freight used to carry them. A ten to one multiplier only requires 45# which its quite doable with a half inch torque wrench.

    Take it back and make them replace it and have them use a torque wrench and torque them to 450 ft lbs. You probably do not own a torque wrench that goes that high. the right wrench will be about 4 foot long. Also the proper lug nut will be a "Hub piloted" nut with a washer attached to the nut. Put 2 drops of motor oil on the nut between the nut and the washer before installing the nut. Don't take a chance without the proper torque. To do it by yourself you would need a cheater bar about 4 feet long and put at least 110 pounds of force on the end to get 440 ft lbs of torque. This is just my suggestion
  • always good to carry a torque wrench and check for proper torque. Can't tell you how many times I've found lugs over/under torqued. Also, you probably are supposed to retorque them after XX miles (my truck is that way)

    Oh, and lug nuts are tiny - I always carry a few extra.

    Good luck.

    Why would you have to by one? Tell them to replace it. I would have them retoeque the bolts because you don't know if they just missed puting that one back on or didn't tighten them righ to start with.
    The nuts are 1-5/16-inch (33-mm)and the torque is 450-500ftlbs.

    Well I plan on telling them to replace it, but if they tell me to bring it back, it is more trouble then its worth.

    Thanks for the info !
